Several of the cricket teams today seem to be loaded with wicket-keeper batsmen who are good enough to be counted among the best twenty-five batsmen in their country.
Rishab Pant batting
… and botching a stumping
Let me list them
India: MS Dhoni, Rishab Pant, Wriddhiman Prasanta Saha, Krishnakumar Dinesh Karthik
England: Josh Butler, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes
Australia: Tim Paine, Matthew Wade, Alex Carey
Sri Lanka: Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella, Dinesh Chandimal, Sadeera Samarasinghe, Minod Bhanuka
New Zealand: BJ Watling, Tom Latham, Tim Seifert
Noticeably, Sri Lanka has six! And half of them are left-handers.
